GoodReadChapter 639
Olivia had asked the same question a while back when she had just woken up.
Back then, Olivia was a lost lamb, and she talked in a soft-spoken tone.
Olivia had changed since. She was radiating confidence. She pursed her lips and added, “I don’t mind
if she doesn’t like me. It’s not like I’m going to marry her.”
Then, she walked out of the restaurant briskly. Ethan watched as Olivia left and fell into contemplation.
Olivia could be so carefree when she wasn’t bound by her children and family.
Olivia had a spring in her step. It might be because she slept well on the plane or because she was in a
good mood after arriving at a new location.
Olivia was skipping like a child. Gone was the depressed demeanor that she had for the past year.
When they walked past the shops that sold local snacks, Olivia would ask Ethan to buy her some of the
snacks.
The time was getting late, but Brian didn’t dare to speak up. He didn’t know what Olivia was trying to
pull.
Olivia thought she had suppressed herself for too long. So she became very excited and happy after
coming to a new

As Ethan was buying some snacks for her, she went into another ship. She bought a bunch of
souvenirs and walked into someone as she was coming out of the shop.
Her souvenirs fell all over the floor. A gentle voice said, “I’m sorry.”
She thought it sounded familiar.
“It’s fine,” Olivia replied as she picked her stuff back up.
Then, the two of them reached for the same box of snacks, and their eyes met. Keith’s face lit up when
he saw Olivia.
“I didn’t expect to see you here, Olivia. Has your illness been cured?”
Olivia was confused. “You…”
Illness? What illness did she have?
Before Olivia could inquire further, a woman came over and grabbed Keith’s arm.
She said, “Get a move on, Dr. Rogers. The show’s about to start. Why are you still dragging your feet
here?”
Keith said apologetically, “I’m sorry, but I need to go. We’ll catch up next time. I’m relieved to see that
you’ve recovered so well. Goodbye, Olivia.”
The woman pulled Keith away in a hurry.
Olivia was confused as she wondered who the man was.
Ethan tapped her shoulder and said, “Why are you spacing out?”
“I just met a man. He seemed to know me. A woman called him Dr. Rogers. He said I had recovered
from an illness. Was I sick before?”
Ethan recalled the winter of last year. Olivia was away from home for one whole week.
He heard that she caught a cold and was hospitalized. Ethan figured that Keith was probably talking
about that.
“Yeah, he was a senior in your school. He used to care for Dad when he was hospitalized. Then, he
went to study abroad.”
Olivia was puzzled. “He said I was sick.”
“It was a cold. There was a period when you were in bad health and were hospitalized.”
“So that’s what it was.”
Olivia felt like something was wrong. Keith’s tone seemed to imply that she had a severe illness. She
saw that Ethan’s expression was calm.
Olivia shook her head and thought that she must be overthinking.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t keep your mother waiting for too long.”
Ethan tapped her on the nose and said, “She’s your mother, too.”

“Of course, she’d acknowledge you. You’re so awesome.”
Ethan wrapped his hand around Olivia, and they left the airport. Keith looked back uneasily and saw
that.
He was puzzled. He thought the relationship between Olivia and Ethan was already irreparable. But
they looked like they were
lovers in heat.
It was not long ago that Ethan was all over the news. Keith thought he misunderstood something.
Ethan had been secretly married for years. Then, he suddenly held a public ceremony. It was weird, no
matter how he looked at it.
The thing he was most worried about was Olivia’s condition. The report showed that Olivia’s cancer
was already in stage three. If it develops to stage four, Olivia would only have around six more months
to live.
Olivia had been alive for a year, so the cancer cells had probably stopped spreading. Her complexion
looked pretty good, too. Her condition was perhaps under control.
But cancer is tricky. It could always come back within five years.
If she could survive five years, her chances of recovery would increase significantly.
If the cancer relapsed and spread within five years, no one would be able to save her.
“She’s long gone, and you’re still staring. Was she a woman you secretly admired for years?”
Keith withdrew his gaze and smiled lovingly at the woman beside her. “Are you jealous? It’s all in the
past now. You’re the only one I love now. Let’s go.”
